Chapter 3 I'm a little hungry
High-end ingredients often only require simple cooking methods, so ordinary ingredients require more high-end cooking skills.
Girls who realize their dreams by mining mountains in the mountains of Yunnan Province can make a delicious matsutake mushroom with the simplest barbecue method, but what if it is replaced by potatoes? I am afraid that it is only in the hands of a chef that the best taste can be given to this common ingredient.
Everyone loves shredded potatoes, but this simple dish, like egg fried rice, has become the most basic dish for chefs.
It's just that this kind of ingredient is something that everyone can make, even if it's a knife skill, it doesn't matter, dry potato strips and potato chips and fried meat are dishes that ordinary people can use, so people have become more picky about shredded potatoes.
Zhou Zhou quickly peeled more than 20 potatoes as if by magic, and according to the amount of vegetables in the train lunch, these potatoes were enough, and then put half a basin of water ready to soak the shredded potatoes in the stainless steel basin of the water platform, and began to shred.
When holding the kitchen knife, Zhou Zhou suddenly felt full of confidence, as if as long as he had this kitchen knife in his hand, although the world was big, he could get it everywhere!
When the potato is held in his free left hand, various information such as the shape and firmness of the potato in his hand and the best place to cut it immediately appear in his mind.
'Brush, brush, brush..."
In just two or three minutes, ten potatoes were cut into very uniform filaments, and then Zhou Zhou picked them up and put them in a basin of water to soak.
Zhou Zhou, who had been swinging the kitchen knife quickly, not only did not feel his hands and arms numb, but his heart was refreshed, and he was almost hooked on this feeling.
'Can you cut out love by cutting a vegetable?' And this is only the skill level of a third-level chef, if my cooking skills continue to upgrade, will I have to sleep with a kitchen knife in the future? ’
Zhou Zhou was secretly surprised in his heart, in the original world, he didn't like to cook the most, and the two dishes he was good at were instant noodles and scrambled eggs, and these eggs were often scrambled.
Chen Yan was not just surprised, she was already stunned.
"Zhou Zhou, when did your sword skills become so powerful?"
Rushed to the basin and gently scooped up a few potato filaments of almost the same length and thickness, and the roots seemed to be transparent under the light.
Don't look at Chen Yan is just a conductor of a green car, she has seen it, just now when Zhou Zhou cut shredded potatoes, he only made the sound of brushing, brushing, brushing, which shows that his control of the kitchen knife has reached the standard of a senior chef, and every time he puts down the knife, he can just cut off the potatoes without gravity touching the vegetable case.
How could such a knife skill appear on Zhou Zhou, could it be that this kid has always been hidden?
"Chen Yan, help me, let's fill the rice first."
Zhou Zhou didn't answer her question, his subordinates continued to cut the potatoes, and cut the adjuncts green and red peppers into shredded peppers slightly wider than the shredded potatoes, and then turned on the hot pot, and immediately poured in the oil after feeling the pot gas, the oil was hot to about nine minutes, put the green onion and ginger, stir-fry a few times with a frying spoon, and when the aroma of green onion and ginger began to rise in the pot, first burst in the shredded peppers, and then took out a few handfuls of shredded potatoes from the basin and gently put them into the pot.
If it is a home-cooked fried shredded potato, you can put the shredded potatoes first and then put the chili, this is because it is impossible to cut the shredded potatoes very finely in the general home-cooked stir-fry, and the shredded potatoes are more difficult to cook than the chili peppers that are easy to return to bitterness at high temperatures, so it is correct to put them in the pot first.
However, if it is a chef who has passed the knife skills, the shredded potatoes are different, because the shredded potatoes are cut very finely and cannot stay in the pot for too long, so you need to burst the chili pepper first, so that the spicy and aroma of the chili pepper and the green onion and ginger are fully integrated to form the most important pot gas for stir-frying.
Just like Zhouzhou now, shredded chili peppers and green onions and ginger are stir-fried in a pot a few times, and they immediately have the taste of fireworks in the world.
At this time, you can not use a colander to scoop up the shredded potatoes soaked in the basin, otherwise it is easy to break the shredded potatoes and affect the dishes.
The details of these specific operations are not something that can be understood at the same time by reaching the level of basic cooking skills of senior chefs, but fortunately, Zhouzhou's favorite thing in the original world is Uncle Li's shredded potatoes next door, and Uncle Li, the former king of food stalls, once took the trouble to explain to him the trick of stir-frying sour and hot shredded potatoes.
At that time, Zhou Zhou studied very hard, and thought about going home to surprise his parents, but naturally failed......
The shredded potatoes in the large wok already have about five plates, if converted to a boxed lunch, it is the amount of 20 lunches, such a large amount of dishes is difficult to heat evenly if directly stir-fried with a frying spoon, and it is easy to break the shredded potatoes in the pot.
Zhou Zhou picked up the wet cloth that had been prepared next to the pot and wrapped it on one pot ear, led the wok and turned it 90 degrees counterclockwise, and when the pot ear stayed in front of his chest and abdomen, he used the strong enough stove as a support point, and his left hand was skillful!
The green and red peppers in the pot and the five large plates of shredded potatoes were suddenly turned upside down by him, and a wisp of oil and gas leaked out of the pot, hooking up a fire dragon, shrouding the shredded potatoes that flew up.
In a hurry, there is no soup stock, so I can only make do with MSG.
Suddenly, the sour, spicy and fragrant smell spread all over the kitchen, and several conductors who were beating eggs in the dining car were stunned, and they shook their noses uncompetitively. It's like the taste of a restaurant, and it's a delicacy that can only be made by a well-crafted restaurant......
Isn't that kid from Zhouzhou in the kitchen? Just him? I must have a taste disorder!
Chen Yan desperately shook the bridge of her snow-white nose, and was about to let out her signature scream, Zhou Zhou had already picked up the lid of the pot and extinguished the embers in the pot: "Fill the rice, I'm going to cook!" ”
"Oh, okay, okay!"
Chen Yan nodded desperately, feeling that it was a matter of course for her to be called by Zhou Zhou, and it took more than a dozen boxes of rice in a row to react: "Hey, my job is to sell the lunch boxes you make, not for you!" ”
"And I won't let you be busy in vain, who let the conductor not give me an assistant?"
Zhou Zhou frowned and said, "I'll leave you a box when I go back, anyway, I haven't contracted a dining car now, so I don't feel distressed." ”
"Cut, your lunch box can't be sold ...... the first place"
I wanted to say that your boxed lunch would not have been sold out, but Chen Yan couldn't go on as soon as she was halfway through the conversation.
Only then did she realize that today's boxed lunch seemed to look a little good, huh?
Moreover, it is so fragrant!
Not only is the rice she packed into the lunch boxes snow-white and crystalline, and the grains are like white jade particles that have been thrown away, but the shredded potatoes that Zhouzhou spread on the rice are also crystal clear, like a silk topaz.
The shredded green and red peppers are mixed in with the shredded potatoes, just like a natural couple, as it should be.
When the hot rice was steamed underneath, the surface of the shredded potatoes seemed to have grease flowing, but when she looked closely, each one was clean and did not give people a greasy feeling at all.
Rushed by the aroma of rice and vegetables, Chen Yan felt a little confused, obviously she had already eaten a big bag of chocolate biscuits, but her stomach was growling uncontrollably.
Secretly swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Chen Yan blushed slightly and said, "Okay, go back and leave me a box, I'm really a little hungry......"
